Movie review – Perry Mason #3 – “The Case of the Lucky Legs” (1935) **
Perry Mason again as a skirt chasing boozer whose doctor is trying to get him to give up the grog – hahaha, alcoholism, hahahaha. Maybe it wouldn’t be so irritating if a more engaging actor that Warren William played the role. It’s a shame since the plot is very strong, with Mason investigating another quite complex mystery. The acting is a bit more even here than in the previous two films but there’s no famous people in the support cast to liven things up. Williams has his third Della (even more saucy than the previous two) but Jenkins returns as his investigator.
